A new paper. However, I can't find a working link to a site with the
pdf or full text. For now, here's what I can provide:

A new theropod dinosaur, Lepidocheirosaurus natatilis gen. et sp.
nov., from the Upper Jurassic (?Tithonian) deposits of the Kulinda
locality (Transbaikal Area, Russia) is described based manus
fragments, caudal vertebrae, and imprints of horn scales. The new form
is similar in morphology to Nqwebasaurus thwazi de Klerk et al., 2000
from the Lower Cretaceous of South Africa and assigned to the family
Nqwebasauridae fam. nov. (Ornithomimosauria, Theropoda). It is
proposed that nqwebasaurids searched for relatively small prey in the
water column.
